1.  No.  Like most systems these days, the processor is soldered to the mainboard and not upgradeable.

2.  It depends on your needs - from the sounds of it you want to have a few apps open at a time;  for that, 8G will help.

3.  No.  Adding RAM will allow you to keep more things open, but won't speed up the system much, if at all.

4.  For all but the last one, the system is fine.  For Dragon software, you'd be better off looking for an i5-based system - not a low  end i3 or Atom/Celeron based one.
